Billionaire Vamsi Gadiraju and Netra Madena, daughter of pharmaceutical magnate Rama Raju Madena, celebrated their marriage in the city of Udaipur with an event that reportedly cost $6.7 million, according to the Daily Mail. Photos and videos that emerged online reveal a spectacle almost unreal in its scale.

A Palace, a Movie Set, and a Towering Cake

The ceremony took place in a grand palace featured in the 1983 James Bond film “Octopussy.”
The wedding cake — itself a showstopper — stood at nearly 5 meters (4.5 m) tall and was crafted in the shape of a lavish palace.

Jennifer Lopez Takes the Stage

Entertainment reached Hollywood levels. Jennifer Lopez performed for the newlyweds and their VIP guests, dressed — like the bride — in custom creations by Elie Saab, whose son also attended the event.

Wearing a striking, glamorous outfit, J.Lo danced and sang some of her biggest hits, including “Waiting for Tonight” and “Get Right.”
World-famous DJ Tiësto also curated part of the musical program and shared glimpses of the night on social media.

A Backlash Amid the Glitter

Despite the dazzling displays, locals expressed outrage at the opulence, arguing that such extreme spending felt out of touch with the region’s economic reality.
